So. I finally actually read Avengers Disassembled.

Which. Apart from making very little sense. Was possibly the most infuriating depiction of mental illness I have read in a while.

Ew. Definitely not picking that up. Not that I would have anyway, but. Ew!

::hugs::

*snugs* It was dire. Wanda tends to get the short end of the emotional health plotline at the bestof times but this time... *shakeshead*

Oh, beautiful critique of that damn storyline.

[tiamatschild]

It was vile. I couldn't really believe what I was reading.

Also, Pietro's clearly been replaced by a skrull in that epilogue. Or brainwashed, or something. He doesn't even get testy.

...wtf, that's ridiculous. Come on, Marvel, you know better. You know better.

[tiamatschild]

Yeeeeeeah. I mean, Marvel is often faily, but this is pretty basic.

I keep starting Disassembled, since it's so darn important, and then failing to get all the way through it, because I hate it, hate it, when people take the cheap way out on making characters "go evil". And Disassembled pretty much takes the cake on that front. So, my sympathies.

Having read it, I believe I can safely say that there's nothing in it you can't get from an online plot summary. Wanda doesn't even get any good panels where her body langauge is saying I Am Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, And I Fear No One, Not Even You. Or. Well. Anything other than I Am Deeply Confused.

Ouch. That's one hell of a way to abuse mental illness to get out of writing character development.
